Friday T&A on S&A: Who is this Eric Cherry character?

If you are a regular reader you’ve hopefully noticed a few posts lately with Eric Cherry as the author. I’m actually surprised nobody brought it up. Eric’s been a reader for some time now, he’s submitted some good tips. Independently of MC taking H.O.M.O.S. back to his sandbox, I have been considering trying to add […]

Rocking Chair Pivot

Just when you thought you’ve seen every possible iteration of skateboard based furniture, along comes Mike Bolster’s rocking chair. A single skateboard truck seems like it would have way too much pivot action to be stable, but Mike uses a double truck setup that keeps the axles parallel at all times. I imagine this would […]

Real skate harassment

I have absolutely no context for this video, but that shouldn’t stop us from making wild speculations. Anybody want to watch a video of a kid with a skatebaord being hit by a cop car? – Thanks to Eric Cherry for the tip

DiSturb PhotoGraphy has a gallery of girls in skateboard graphic body paint, among other things. – Thanks to Eric Cherry for the tip.

Friday T&A on S&A. This is dumb, not badass.

“Badass skateboarding” from Playboy, which is neither badass or anything other than embarrassing for all parties involved. One girl appears to know how to skate, while the other two have “action” scenes that look like they were shot at speeds approaching 2mph. Entirely safe for work video after the jump, although the domain name may […]

More waste paper, more resin, more skateboards

More, more, more. How do ya like it? How do ya like it? What do you do with a couple hundred misprinted design retrospective books? Invite other designers to see what they can make of them. Alberto Villarreal and his team at AGENT, ended up weaving them together and covering them with resin in a […]

There are popsicle sticks and there are…

There are popsicle sticks and there are more popsicle stick sticks. Check out this longboard made from laminates of actual popsicle sticks. I was a little bit disappointed to learn that these were craft and hobby store popsicle sticks and not from recycled frozen sweets. I think the sugar water stains would have been a […]

Dr Don Don

Skaters with elaborate painted faces spend the days and nights filled with suburban boredom. This is a side project from hip hop producer, Chasm I think this is a Dr Don Don tune called King of the Stars, but I can’t tell for sure because I couldn’t make it through the whole video. The costumes […]

Old guys skateboard, slightly different angle

The San Francisco Chronicle has a very short piece on 76 year old downhill enthusiast Lloyd Kahn who’s only been skating for about 11 years. – Thanks to Eric Cherry for the tip.
